Metadata and Digital Object Roundtable
The Metadata and Digital Object Roundtable of the Society of American Archivists provides a place for collaboration and a source for guidance to archivists at all types of repositories as they engage with the digital environment. This website will provide access to information and resources to archivists charged with these duties.
2008 Annual Meeting Program Announced
The Metadata and Digital Object Roundtable annual meeting will be Wednesday, August 27, from 3:15 to 5:15 p.m., as part of the SAA annual meeting in San Francisco. Please join us for a lively debate of this resolution:
Resolved: A repository that adapts, alters or modifies metadata standards to fit practical realities (for example, to implement a particular digital asset management system or deal with limited resources for metadata creation) can create effective metadata records for discovery, sharing, and ongoing management of digital objects.
For the Affirmative:
Brandon Burke, Associate Archivist for Recorded Sound Collections, Hoover Institution
Andy Wentink, Curator of Special Collections and Archives, Middlebury College
For the Negative:
Robin Chandler, Director, Digital Library Program, University of California at San Diego
Kathy Wisser, School of Information and Library Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Moderator: Bill Landis, Manuscripts and Archives, Yale University
A brief business meeting will be held before the debate. Please make the meeting a part of your San Francisco plans!
